Fantasy Surfer: Trestles Preview

We’re headed into event No.8 on the Men’s Tour and event No.7 on the Women’s Tour beginning September 6th in Southern California, and the world title races are both wide open. Jordy Smith has a narrow lead over John John Florence, and Tyler Wright holds a slim lead over Sally Fitzgibbons and Courtney Conlogue. With the European leg of the tour starting almost immediately after Lowers, momentum will play a huge factor for whomever can strike first and solidify their lead.

WILDCARDS / INJURIES / INJURY REPLACEMENTS: (Updated August 31th, 2017) Kelly Slater is officially out of the event, and likely all of 2017 with a broken right foot. He has been replaced in the draw by Nat Young. The two men’s wildcards are Hiroto Ohhara and Evan Geiselman. There are no injuries to report on the women’s side. The women’s wildcard is Macy Callaghan.
